The stone has been moved approximately 20 meters and now stands directly by the path. Previously, it stood under a tree in a meadow/pasture.

Those wishing to stay on the Hainichlandweg trail should currently follow the signposts and not the Komoot app (currently, as of December 2025, it works with both versions). The old route is now difficult or impossible to walk.

The tree-lined spring, at 17 meters wide, is only about half as wide as the Kainspring, but at 23.5 meters deep, almost twice as deep. The Melchiorbrunnen (Melchior Spring) discharges 20 liters per second. The spring's bed consists of meter-deep limestone mud, through which the karst water pushes, causing it to bubble. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchiorbrunnen

The Probstmühle (Provost's Mill) in Oberdorla is one of the seven mills that once stood, or still stand, on the Siebenmühlenbach stream. The name Probstmühle (Provost's Mill) or Herrenmühle (Herren's Mill) probably dates back to the 11th century, the year it was built. At that time, the mill belonged to the church foundation and was thus subordinate to the parish priest (Provost). Like most mills, the mill is a grain mill. Here, the grain brought by farmers was ground into flour, semolina, and rye flour. https://www.gemeinde-vogtei.de/verzeichnis/visitenkarte.php?mandat=193740

The Probstmühle in Oberdorla is one of the seven mills that once stood or still stand on the Siebenmühlenbach. The name Probstmühle or Herrenmühle probably comes from the 11th century, when it was built. At that time, the mill belonged to the church foundation and was thus subordinate to the church lord (Probst). Like most mills, the mill is a grain mill. Here, the grain brought by the farmers was ground into flour, semolina and Schroth. Today, the Probstmühle is no longer in operation. It was bought by the former municipality of Oberdorla in 2006 and extensively restored so that it could still grind grain today. The mill now serves as a technical monument and is used for weddings.

The spring area west of Oberdorla is of great importance for the region's drinking water supply. These deep sinkhole springs are of particular interest to karst and cave researchers. VÖLKER (1983) reported: "The bottom of the Melchiorbrunnen consists of meter-high lime mud, the depth of which could not be determined. The water pushes through the lime mud and causes it to bubble. At the bottom there are tree remains that are completely encrusted with lime."
